• Summary:In recent years, the requirement for high-performance and lower-energy-consuming nano/micro devices has triggered widespread studies in low-dimensional materials with better interfacial thermal conduction. Here, we report the interfacial thermal resistance between single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (MoX2 (X = S or Se)) and their dielectric substrate, combining the differential 3ω method and finite element simulation. The MoX2 samples are directly grown on SiO2 substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to reduce interfacial thermal resistance due to conformal interface between MoX2 and the substrate. We observe that the interfacial thermal resistance of MoS2/oxide and MoSe2/oxide reaches ~4.76 × 10−8 m2 /KW and ~4.95 × 10−7 m2 /KW, one order of magnitude smaller than that in CVD-transferred or Scotch-tape samples, due to better interface with fewer voids and less roughness. The larger interfacial thermal resistance in MoSe2 than in MoS2 is believed to result from larger mismatch of atomic mass on the two sides of the interface. Our results indicate that the interfacial thermal resistance can be managed by improving the combination between MoX2 and its dielectric substrate to enhance the thermal transport across their interface.
